Hi,
I have reached a plateau over the past 6 months and I have stopped gaining any weight. I am stuck at 90-92kg. so I am trying to see if it because of my diet. I have worked out all my macros for an ideal day where I get all my meals in -:
My stats:
Age: 28
Height: 6 foot
Weight: 90-92kg
Training experience: approx 3-4 years.
Body fat: approx 18%
Breakfast: 7am
Porridge - 80g oats with 400ml full fat milk
Orange juice with 3 egg whites mixed in -
698 cal - P: 32.6g, C: 88.3, F: 17.6
Smoothie: 8.30am
7 strawberries, 15 raspberries, 1 banana, 15 blueberries, 150ml orange juice, 150ml full fat milk, 1 scoop protein powder.
454 cal - P: 20.6, C: 80.5, F: 6.4
Mid morning shake: 10:30am
Mass FX protein with 400ml semi skimmed milk
496 cal - P: 43.9, C: 60.2, F: 7.4
Lunch: 12:30pm - whatever they have in the canteen. I get a meat with rice/potatoes and usually a veg. Drink 500ml of semi skimmed milk.
On average I guessed it at 700cal with P: 37.7, C 100, F: 10.9
Post work shake: 4.30pm
Mass FX protein with 400ml semi skimmed milk
496 cal - P: 43.9, C: 60.2, F: 7.4
Dinner: 7:30pm
Usually a meat, carb and veg.
ie. Fish fillets with mashed potatoes and peas
1035 cal - P: 40.1, C: 76.4, F: 58.9
WORKOUT
Post workout shake: 10pm
404 cal - P: 37.8, C: 57.8, F: 2.2
Pre sleep shake: 11:30pm
Mass FX protein with 400ml semi skimmed milk
496 cal - P: 43.9, C: 60.2, F: 7.4
TOTAL MACROS:
CALORIES: 4,776
PROTEIN: 300.5
CARBS: 583.6
FAT: 118.2
I would basically like to know what are the good parts of the above diet and what are the bad parts? Do I have too many carbs and not enough protein?
am I right in thinking that I have way too many shakes? Should I try and replace the post work shake with a small meal?
The reason I have the smoothie at 8:30 is cos im not a great fruit and veg man so it was a way to get some of my 5 fruit/veg a day.
As you can see, I realy like milk. Ive always drunk 1-1.5 litres of it a day. I love the taste. I dont mind the difference in taste between full fat and low fat. I drink full fat to up my calories.
I have always considered myself an ectomorph. I grew up extremely skinny and lanky. Both my brothers are around 60kg and 5 foot 8 each.
Any and all advice welcomed. Please be nice
Cheers
Tom
